Coup It Or Lose It! Q1 Credits Expire March 31

You have 30 days to use your Q1 quarterly credit card benefits before they vanish.

This isn't the big year-end reset—but quarterly credits are real money, and they don't roll over. Here's what expires March 31 and how to use it before then.

How to Use Each One Before March 31

Lululemon ($75 — Amex Platinum)

Two approaches depending on how much time you have:

Fastest: Go to lululemon.com and buy anything over $75 with your Amex Platinum. Credit posts in a few days. Check the We Made Too Much section for 30–70% off—your $75 can cover two or three items there.

No rush on buying: Go to a lululemon store and buy a $75 gift card with your Amex Platinum. The purchase triggers the credit. Use the gift card balance whenever.

Resy ($100 — Amex Platinum)

Open the Resy app, find a restaurant, book for sometime before March 31, and pay with your Amex Platinum. The credit posts automatically. If you can't get out this week, book for the weekend—25,000+ restaurants are on Resy including most mid-to-upscale spots in any major city.

StubHub ($150 — Chase Sapphire Reserve)

Buy tickets to any upcoming event—concerts, sports, Broadway, whatever's on your radar. The $150 Q1 credit applies when you check out with your CSR. If you're not planning anything specific, buy tickets to something later in the year. StubHub tickets don't expire with the quarter.

Exclusive Tables ($150 — Chase Sapphire Reserve)

Book a reservation at an Exclusive Tables restaurant through Chase's dining platform and pay with your CSR. Great excuse to finally try somewhere you've been putting off.


Quick Checklist

  • Use Lululemon Q1 credit ($75 Amex) — or buy a gift card
  • Make a Resy reservation and use the $100 dining credit
  • Buy StubHub tickets with CSR ($150)
  • Book an Exclusive Tables dinner ($150 CSR)
  • Use March monthly credits before April 1

Q2 Starts April 1

The day after your Q1 credits expire, Q2 credits reload. Same amounts, fresh quarter. April, May, June.

If you missed Q1 Lululemon entirely, Q2 starts fresh April 1—mark your calendar for the first week of April so you don't let it slip again.

Coup it or lose it.
